The Gypsy

As I posted before, I ordered the new Gypsy for the Cricut last night on HSN. I can't wait for it to arrive and since I spent an extra $8.00 for faster shipping, it should be here by next Tuesday! I can't wait! I sent two e-mails to my sister-in-law about it but she didn't answer so I got nervous and called her at work. She hadn't opened her e-mail and didn't know about the Gypsy being available on HSN. Naturally, she promptly ordered it so it will arrive before she leaves with my brother to come visit on Sept. 30. We're going to learn how to use it together. Good thing I called because it sold out shortly after she ordered it!

Interestingly, I've been collecting these little tickets that come in some of the cartridges called "Cricut Rewards" but had no idea what I was supposed to do with them. I found out last night while watching HSN so I went to CricutRewards.com and signed up plus I enrolled and turned in my tickets for credits. When I get the Gypsy, I will have enough rewards to get the Accent Essentals cartridge, which was available only with the purchase of the first Cricut Expression machines. Since I didn't buy my Expression right away (I already had the original Cricut), I missed out on that cartridge but have wanted to get it cause it's really cool!. The only place it's available is on eBay (and it's not easy to get) or now I've discovered as part of the rewards program with Cricut. I'm super excited because I'm getting one more cartridge as a result of buying the Gypsy so that just made the value for the Gypsy even better for me! I'm pretty sure I have additional Cricut Rewards somewhere so I'm going to be looking for them for future freebies!

Spending money can be soooo much fun! LOL!
